what’s motivating you?

You have to make sure that you’re driven by the right kind of motivators. 

Rather than doing things because of external goals and rewards or making other people like you, focus on pursuits that you truly love and enjoy. 

When you let money, admiration, or shiny objects consistently motivate you, you enter a never-ending negative spiral of unhappiness. Even if you reach a big goal, you’ll only experience a few fleeting moments of happiness and achievement, and soon you’ll feel the compulsion of setting and going after another goal or reward.
